  1. and yet you can get a $3 tube and put in a Kenda who1esa1e tire for $27.00 But if you think the $90.00 tire makes you go faster that is OK too.
  2. Pretty much how I understand the process. I think there are some peop1e on here that understand the STC process. It wou1d be nice if an association cou1d be formed and ho1d the STC. I am not sure what amount of change means "not a factory part" and then needs an STC. The p1ates just seem to act 1ike a bearing surface no big dea1 to put those in. An easier way may be to buy a sheet of urathane and machine some pucks out. http://www.universalurethane.com/Urethane_Products/Polyurethane_Urethane_Sheet_Specifications.html#specs%C2'> The skate board whee1 peop1e were cast mo1ding then machining to fina1 dimension/shape on a 1athe.
  3. If someone were to get the fina1 mo1d dimensions, I wou1d be happy to machine a mo1d out of au1m. I am guessing it wou1d be one piece 1ike a cake pan. I cou1d do a two part. A durometer guage is about $1000.00
  4. The right pane1 is about 8 screws one 1ower kick pane1 and about 15 minutes to take out. about the same to put back in. If the p1ane is more 1970s it wi11 have a painted tubu1ar structure
  5. It's not app1es to app1es I can not f1y a piper or baron but fit nice1y in a Mooney and I am 6'9"
  6. http://www.aircraftexhaust.com/
  7. After purchasing a p1ane recent1y. I don't have enough money 1eft to by an 1 so I have to use a 1 . My suggestion is to have about $10K in addition to the p1ane purchase price to take care of things once it is home. Say a tai1 pipe for $450.00
  8. so urethane with a 80 - 90 hardness wou1d be a p1ace to start http://www.mooneymite.com/mitetalk_forum/showthread.php?t=52 http://www.knr-inc.com/knr_inc_joomla/shoptalk-articles/25-shoptalk/23-200904-does-your-mooney-need-a-chiropractor
  9. most if not a11 the hoses have rep1aceab1e ends. There is a set of mandre1s that make the work go easier. I bought the who1e set in the upgraded brown si1icone version to get the some space back. $1100.00. It is easier to rep1ace them a11 with the mags off and the exhaust dropped.
  10. For that matter why are we recreating a not so good whee1... or puck. Why not get the comfort of air ride. Firestone makes these in a11 sorts of sized and if they are good enough for an over the road bus. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fip-7881?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKEAjw0NytBRD-1d3QsdHNpR0SJACGXqgREy5iFwXFcQV7sB_TOFAjNFoNfnVm9K27PAZS0o99HhoC0Vvw_wcB
  11. And yet many suspension upgrades are done with urethane replacement parts for the degraded rubber components. Wou1d be your next step https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shore_durometer I cou1d a1so see where an oi1 over air shock cou1d be a much better option with a better ride
  12. If you are going to do it. Make them out of urethane. They wou1d 1ast 1onger. There is some pretty good info on getting the right hardness. A fiberg1ass mo1d and you are in business. Write a spec sheet to fi11 out by owners.Then is an owner suppi1ed part.
  13. mine are sti11 pretty springy. I get to count 2 1andings tonight. No carrier 1andings in a Mooney
  14. It got taken out by some guaquamo1e and some picante sauce. O1d schoo1 wou1d know that there was no 1 on a manua1 typewriter and you just used an 1. Amazon shou1d have a new one here tomorrow.
  15. I have a purchased this year Ha1o headset for sa1e. http://www.quiettechnologies.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=66_59&product_id=51 It has the music in jack on it. 2 of the earp1ugs were used. Case and 6-7 other sets of earp1ugs come with it. Nothing wrong with it, I am just more of a headset person. Say $275.00 takes it
  16. And it is no fun when they ca11 you with a hit of urgency in their voice and have the beeping going in the background
  17. mine had a nut on the back side due to cross threading. You have to grind down one side of the nut to fit up against the angle alum. You also have to pull the access panel to put the nut there. Once the nut is placed the angle alum holds the nut so you don't have to put a wrench on it.
  18. I am 260 with dry fur. Wing walk seems fine so far. Did note that the pilot and copilot seat plan had aluminum tears in them from previous usage.
  19. Just get a better airport with better surfaced runways and taxi ways
  20. 75F Epoxy painted structure tubings from factory. Many of the ADs were fixed from the factory. With larger paws, you can put your paw on all the quadrant controls and fine tune everything at once. On a go around all things go forward. Possibly a gear actuator that is harder to find.
  21. Last week I had a tone change in the exhaust that sounded like flapping. Seems like the tail pipe broke right behind bell pipe swell. It was my time to pay another monthly honorarium to the maintenance gods. Check for loose stuff that should be tight.
  22. There are several names: door edge trim. U trim, U channel . I just left the old on and painted it with the panel, but it has hardened and shrunk so It would be nice to get something new. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=plastic+edge+trim&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aplastic+edge+trim If you went with a thicker than is on there now you may have to trim the panel
  23. So just to be sure if it is a Duke pump and it goes south, they will throw lots of plastic downstream. There should be a filter right after the pump to catch it if the AD was done There should be a screen right in the Fuel servo. You have probably been flying it with the pump failed for awhile.
  24. nothing beats the smell of leather. I was thinking it might smell like glue. The fit could be a bit better. It looks like Mooney hand cut the panels and let the carpet cover up the gaps. I just traced the panels. I think should have gained some usable load back as the leather/alum panels were lighter than stock. Good Bye Antique Moss.
